If the meta robots tag has a value of “no index, no follow” what does it mean?

[mjhonson]

It means the search engine crawlers would not index the contents and would not follow the links present on the page.

No index, no follow implies that the search engine robots do not crawl the particular link or webpage. This ensures that the webpage or the link is never indexed in Google.

It means that page is a dead end for search spiders. “no index” means “don’t place this page in the Google (or Bing) index, and/or remove it if it is already indexed”. “no follow” means “don’t crawl through and visit any of the links on the page”. Generally there are good reasons to “noindex” a page, but most of the time you want the spiders to crawl through (and the SEO page rank to pass through as well), so “no follow” should be used sparingly.

This means that page will not get indexed on google and no follow refers to the links which are not crawled by the google bots.
